that he believed reports were true that

drawn its opposition to the recently

estate In that state. The California
represenative made the statement af
ter a conference yesterday with Ro
land S. Morris, American ambassador

Announcement was made by Repre
sentative Kahn that a meeting of the
California members of the house had
been called for Wednesday to discuss
aspects of the negotiations now being
carried on between the United States
and Japanese government looking to- j
wara a treaty ueiimng tne rights or
Japanese nationals in the United
Stales.
"The principal matter to be taken
up at the conference. Representative
Kahn said, was the proposal that the
California legislature he asked to en
act a substitute for the recently rati
fied law. The substitute would pro
hibit any aliens from acquiring land
in California and would thereby re
move the contention of the Juianese
government that the present California j
aw is discriminatory.
